The Globe has been dogging Romney's heels over

his bid to appropriate Mormon based fundraising and organization muscle for 2008.
Politicizing various religious sects is an old GOP game, there are many many churches out there that are naught but fundraising flags of convenience and or pagan cabals dedicated to the veneration of George W. Bush.
In fact, this is an old gambit for the Viceroy, anyone else out there recall the endless squads of happy smiling out of state Mormon "volunteers" that swarmed the polling places on election day 2002?
Virtually none of these activists had the right to vote in Massachusetts nor any discernable business before the Commonwealth, but nonetheless there they were happily waving signs for their Bishop.
All Romney is doing here is expanding that policy and ginning up the fundraising dimension, he has already discovered that putting his organization on a strictly sectarian basis won't harm his prospects in any way.
My only question is, will those volunteers (who contribute their time and enthusiasm in much the same spirit as the Red Chinese volunteers who once intervened in Korea)be out there for Kerry Healey this year?
